Considering what has been learned and implemented by cartridge designers and manufacturers as of late, it seems as if shorter, fatter cases with slow burning powders using long for caliber bullets and the use of faster twist rates is becoming more the norm than the exception.
It has also been shown that exceeding some reasonable dimension limits (i.e. too fat or too short) can cause feeding and reliability issues.
Before the Creedmoor, Short mags and Nosler cartridges established this ideal, were they any old school cartridges that exemplified these traits that simply never gained much traction?
For example, I recently did some reading about the 6.5 Remington Magnum.
This little short mag almost looks like it could have hit the shelves in the last decade.
Any others that may have succeeded if shooters were more educated on these subjects at the time?
